Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. Heaven is not a MAGICAL place such as "Alice in wonderland" or "Land of the giants." Heaven is a place for God's people who have been redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus taught many parables about the Kingdom of Heaven and Eternal Life. In the bible, there are many facts about Heaven and hell. Life is summed up in days, months, and years. When life is over, it's not over. It is the beginning of eternity. The Word of God is clear that there are only two places to spend eternity. Heaven or hell, there is no in-between. It is no place (purgatory) to go and pay for sins and get cleansed after passing away. If you do not receive atonement for your sins before you die, you will die in your sins. Hell is the destination for all who refuse to repent of their sins and those who reject Christ. Be not deceived; you must believe in Christ Jesus the Lord and be forgiven for your sins because hell is waiting on all non-believers. Jesus gave His sinless life on Calvary for the world and sinners like you and me, that we may escape the wrath of God. The fantasy in your mind will become a reality. You must make a choice. Is it magic, or Is it a miracle? Your soul is depending on what you believe!
There are three judgments after death. There are several judgments at various times and places. But this message is on the believer's works and the white throne judgment. In the Bible (KJV), St. John 5:24. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." The believer's sins are judged in Christ at Calvary and separated from his sins forever. After receiving forgiveness for sins, the believer is judged for his works, not for salvation but for rewards. The believer can never lose his salvation, but he can suffer the loss of his rewards. The white throne judgment is for all those who rejected Christ.
Read Revelation 20:11-15, " And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which was written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which was in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast in the lake of fire." You must understand that all men will be judged for their works, but those who reject Christ will be judged for their sins and works. Accept Christ as your personal Savior today and be born again. So that you can escape the second death and go to HEAVEN. Going to Heaven is not a FANTASY.
